BCCI to block SL players' salaries?

As the saga surrounding the Sri Lankan players' early return to serve national duties refuses to end, the BCCI is reportedly gearing up for stern action against their Sri Lankan counterparts.

After BCCI's request to let the players stay for an additional 10 days was rejected, it is almost certain that the players would abide by the May 5 deadline set by the Lankan authorities.

Reports suggest that if the Lankan players do leave the IPL on May 5, earlier than the May 22nd understanding, the BCCI may retaliate by asking franchises to block the players' salaries and also refuse to pay the Sri Lankan board its share of 10% of the players' earnings.

Sri Lanka will play their first Test in England from June 26 and neither board has commented on the standoff, but in all probability, the Sri Lankan cricketers might have to return as per their government's orders.

    cancel first test and let continue IPL, as IPL more entertaining than test matches.

    They should be kind to the Sri Lankans, after we bowled so badly and in the finals and gifted India a win that prevented their country from going up in flames.

    I think this issue should be resolved with mutual understanding between SLC and BCCI, let the players play IPL until 15th April 2011. there is more time for Test match to begin with England.

    These players sold the World Cup Finals to India. So, let them feel the pinch now.

    BCCI is trying to hijack Cricket, too bad for the game. No matter how rich BCCI can't be larger than Cricket.
